Henderson's Windmill, The fashionably - bred and very superior Thorough-bred Horse ) E R T O B E, Eminently suited for getting Hunters, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in* 1569. Got by Panic (imported) j hia dam,. Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts,, by Wanderer (imported).—Sea Victorian) Stud Boole, Vol. 11., p. J/-7. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put; to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained! and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased* at a high price and imported to Victoria,, where he had two more seasons' training; and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile amd quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from, the turf without a blemish. At the stud,, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many-first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his Btock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, ia that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side ;here is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of tho game and stout Venison, tha powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most, excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Tha 'alue of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable,, having furnished so many proofs, not alone; us to its being speedy and staying, but also to ita 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-claaa animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through The Pre-, mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (tiia dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! uot only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprA blood is also very good indeed. Delaprd'a dam, Portress, by Defence, was the dam oS the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs„ Roberts, the great grand-dam of P-HRTOBEj, was by Wanderer, and Wanderei*s blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna,, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of„ that they say " a bad one by-Wanderer waa never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider thafc quite sufficient.

As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory ia the Launceston Champion Race, and the style in which he carried 103t. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy the most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock has become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an oraeal as Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy,, Postman, Prodigious, and many other goodt cross country horses, too numerous to monition, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January* 1880.
